snailgenie's "101 things in 1001 days"
Well! Its officially been 1001 days. I’ve completed 68% of the list and don’t really regret the other 32%. Interests sometimes disappear in 2.75 years. Next list I’m doing 50 things in 500 days. I think it will be more relevant.
<b>Start:</b> August 1st, 2006 (ending April 27th, 2009)
<b>The Mission:</b>
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
<B>The Criteria:</b>
Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on my part).
<b>Why 1001 Days? </b>
Many people have created lists in the past – frequently simple goals such as new year’s resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.
